Key Takeaways:

  • The business aviation market experienced significant year-over-year growth in Q3 2024, with new acquisition agreements up 22 percent and closed deals reaching their highest Q3 volume since 2020.
  • While reduced-price listings increased as values reset from post-pandemic highs, demand is largely absorbing the rising inventory, leading to slightly lower prices and a shifting market where buyers have a greater influence.
  • The market shows an optimistic outlook, with Q4 expected to be very active—especially for midsize, light jets, and turboprops—as geopolitical tensions and the election cycle had less impact than anticipated, and Days on Market have stabilized.
